Top picks:

Mehdi Taremi: Taremi has recorded good stats for his club with six goals and dished out five assists in the league this season. He could earn some points with his passing ability and is one of the top choices from his side. In the last World Cup match against England, he netted two goals. In the 2-0 victory over Wales, he assisted a goal and helped his country.

Timothy Weah: Weah is the only scorer from the USA side in this World Cup and he leads the attack for them. His playmaking abilities along with a good eye for goal make him an asset to this team. He netted a goal in the 1-1 draw against Wales. He could be a decent vice-captaincy pick here.
